When you’ve got an international plane ticket and are travelling with a pile of gear, enlist the aid of Osprey’s Shuttle 100L/30" to roll your gear to the ends of the earth. Made of bombproof ballistic nylon fabric, this wheeled duffle boasts over 6,000 cubic inches of carrying capacity. The bag rolls on extra-large, sealed-bearing wheels. Osprey’s extra wide HighRoad chassis has a tough ABS plastic base laced with aluminum stays to create a stable backbone for heavy loads. StraightJacket compression, padded sidewalls, and multiple exterior bumpers protect your gear. Open the panel zipper to access the voluminous main compartment. There you’ll find a series of inner storage pockets lining the periphery. There’s also a collapsible zippered lower compartment to confine dirty laundry. Exterior features include padded carrying handles, a top zippered pocket for quick access to small items, and a large zippered panel pocket with a drain port for damp storage. There’s also a dedicated tablet/magazine pouch for easy access to long layover entertainment. No matter where you go, the Shuttle series is backed by Osprey's All Mighty Guarantee.

Mixed Feelings - Capacious but Hard to Maneuver
I have very mixed feelings about this bag, having just returned from a three week trip to Japan with it.First, it is very roomy - so roomy in fact, that coming home its contents made it way overweight and I had to pay an excess weight fee. That is on me and my proclivity for shopping, but goes to illustrate how spacious the interior of this bag is.Second, I found it difficult to maneuver when it was full. The primary reason is that it just has TWO wheels, and not four. So, when full and upright, it easily falls over if just slightly imbalanced. This would be a much better bag with four wheels, because it would balance better and would be much easier to move. Two more wheels would undoubtedly increase the price, but would make for a much better luggage experience. With just two wheels, I had to have it pointed in the direction I wanted to go before tilting it back on its wheels. Two wheels made it harder to handle on escalators and in elevators where I had to turn it around to get it off the elevator. So, the fact that it only has two wheels impacts its balance and movability adversely.The short handle is also something of a problem. I can see how a longer handle might make the bag excessively long when being pulled, but the short handle added to the clumsiness involved in moving this bag. So, I think it would be a much better bag with four wheels and a longer handle.I will say that the materials are very sturdy and that, after five separate flights, it shows no wear and tear. The fabric seems much stronger than many of the cheaper, flimsier luggage options out there.I also wish it came in more colors. The red is an orangey red, not my favorite -- but pretty easy to pick out on the luggage carousel and preferable to the drab other option. This is a relatively expensive bag and I am half pleased and half disappointed with it. Thus the three star rating and recommendations for improvements, both in engineering and aesthetics.

LOVE THIS BAG!
I was looking for a lightweight bag that would enable me to pack as much as possible but still meet the 50-lb limit most airlines impose. This does the trick! It's surprising how much it can hold, and it's unique shape and color makes it easy to identify in baggage claim. The wheels are solid and installed in a way that protects them from outside damage. I've flown to multiple countries with it, never encountering any challenges about his size. Wish I'd known about the Osprey line long ago. Ended up buying their wheeled carry-on, too, (Osprey Ozone), as it meets the new restrictions and is so lightweight that I can almost place it in the overhead bin with one hand!

this bag has been great for hauling small/medium loads going out
I have been using this bag for a couple years and it really works well. In trips to other countries, this bag has been great for hauling small/medium loads going out, and larger ones coming back. One of the best features of this bag is how it scales from small to large capacities. I am tall and don't have any problem pulling the bag around with me.

Tons of Space, Tough, and Mobile
I travel back and forth overseas often and got tired of my bags succumbing to abuse after only a few trips. I have had Samsonite and other brands. I had an Osprey backpack I loved so I tried out the older model of the Shuttle 36". I have had it for 3 yrs and I love it. The wheels are beefy and can handle gravel and curbs with ease. The material and zippers are tough too, no matter how much I pack. No tears where the straps connect to the bag or split zippers. I use packing packing cubes often which help in organizing and getting the most out of the space. I just purchased a second Shuttle because my husband took my original on with him to his last job. I really recommend this bag and all Osprey products.

Great Wheeled bag.
Great! Took it to the UK and back on British Airways. No problems at all. I suggest checking the weight after packing to make sure that it is not over the limit since a lot of stuff can fit in it. The additional pockets, including the one on the back, have been very useful, and do not tend to compromise the main compartment's space.

Mix review for an otherwise good luggage.
The plus: Super roomy that I was excited this would be a long-term luggage for many flying and camping trips.The negative: It got a tear on the front fabric on its maiden flight voyage to Hawaii (see picture). So it seems the fabric is thin and not as scratch resistant as I hoped it would be. Now I'll have to find a creative way to patch this up. And wonder how long this luggage would last.
